From the CEO to our newest team member, our goals are the same: to provide you with the innovative tools and support you need to effectively compete in today's competitive development market.

FarPoint's foundation began in 1991 (then Prescription Software) by re-introducing Drovers Professional Toolbox for Windows, what is believed to be the first development package available for the professional Windows developer, with thirteen new DLLs, including a fully featured spreadsheet control. Developers using languages such as C or C++ quickly realized the benefits of using our pre-built DLLs instead of spending their valuable resources developing these controls internally.

The advent of Visual Basic 1.0 presented FarPoint with a new opportunity in the professional development market. After being contacted by Microsoft asking that our spreadsheet be made available for their users, the first spreadsheet control ever available for Visual Basic was soon introduced in our product Visual Architect. Along with the spreadsheet control, Visual Architect offered formatted-edit controls in this new VBX format. The rising popularity of Visual Basic and our controls allowed us to introduce several new products to the market in the coming months: Spread/VBX, Aware/VBX, Grid/VBX, Tab/VBX and Tab Pro, while continuing support for Professional Toolbox for Windows.

Today, FarPoint is one of the oldest and most respected vendors in the industry. We continue to cater our products to the professional developer by offering our components as a 32-bit ActiveX control, 32-bit DLLs, Windows Forms and Web Forms components.


We are honored that many of the Fortune 1000 and leading companies around the world have chosen FarPoint as their source for industry-proven development controls, including: Microsoft Corporation, IBM, Hewlett Packard, the Internal Revenue Service, Nike, Coca Cola, the Upjohn Company, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Martin Marietta, Dun and Bradstreet, Chase Manhattan Bank, World Savings Bank, the Federal Reserve Bank, the office of the President of the United States, and many more.
